Next Wednesday, March 19th is the 5 year anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Peace and Justice groups across the country and throughout the world are holding actions to demand an end to the funding of the occupation, along with the impeachment of the president and vice president who lied us into it. There are more than 465 local events in all 50 states planned. Here in Richmond, citizens are coming together to speak up:

*Friday, March 14th - noon - Impeach for Peace Rally outside Congressman Bobby Scott's office.

For the past 8 months, 72 people have participated in the RVA4Peace Friday demonstrations. Many more have called or written the Congressman asking him, as a member of the House Judiciary Committee, to support impeachment proceedings for Bush and Cheney. At these rallies, anywhere from 3 to 30 people stand at the corner of Second and Clay Streets, holding Impeach signs. Motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians honk, flash peace signs, give thumbs-up or, on rare occasions, raise their middle fingers. Overall, the support has been tremendously positive. This Friday is a particularly important one - Noon to 1 PM.
